"Diesel Sweeties," by R. Stevens



Diesel Sweeties has been a great webcomic since 2000. Now it's a kick-ass daily comic strip that I strongly urge you to check out.

Of course, I'm biased. I first came across R. Stevens' comic strip about the romance between a robot and a flesh-and-blood hu-man while researching my book Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists. And, when United Media asked me to pick comics for syndication to daily newspapers, "Diesel Sweeties" was my first pick.

I haven't felt this excited about a daily comic strip for ages, and I hope you like it too.

You can check out "Diesel Sweeties" in print in the Seattle Times, Portland Oregonian, Rocky Mountain News, Detroit News, Albuquerque Tribune, Houston Chronicle and other papers across the United States. If you'd like your local paper to consider it, please write them a letter to the editor.

  3. Nice accomplishment, Ted. I'll give you and the guys at United for trying something different.

    Now if only "Ozy and Millie" gets syndicated.

  4. I like "Ozy and Millie" quite a lot. It would make a fine addition to comics pages.
